Good evening all.
Thank you for taking the time to look at this post. Hopefully you can help me out. I am a noob to airbrushing but have an issue. I inherited a dual action siphon feed airbrush from my father. I have always wanted to learn how to airbrush, and I figured why not use the one I received from my father.
Here is my issue: This is a really nice little air brush, but the needle is bent and the nozzle is a little out of sorts. I say this cause the needle tip itself was bent in a "U" shape, not good, and the nozzle opening looks oval shaped, instead of round. I want to get replacement parts but the manual that came with it gives manufacture part numbers, but the manufacture does not exist any longer as far as I can tell. This is a pre-internet early 80's airbrush. The Badger Model 175 “Crescendo” “http://www2.gpmd.com/imagel/b/lbadr1019.jpg” reminds me very much of this airbrush. I have attempted to research this airbrush to no avail. What I am trying to find is if the thread of the nozzle is the same as some newer brands like Badger or Iwata, with threaded nozzles. I have picked up an Iwata Revolution CR in the mean time. I would still like to get my fathers airbrush back up and running.
Details about the brush: Columbia International Automotive Deluxe Airbrush Kit 304.

Being a machinist by trade, I understand how very important it is not to cross thread the threads in the airbrush or the nozzle it self. The paperwork that came with the airbrush of course gives no real information other than manufacture part numbers.
Any help would be great.
Thank you in advance
